The Latest: Snyder Will Release Staff's Flint Emails
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LANSING, Mich. — Feb 22, 2016, 6:17 PM ET
The Latest on the city of Flint's water emergency (all times local):
6 p.m.
Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder says his office will release thousands of his staff's emails related to Flint's lead-contaminated water crisis dating back to when he took office in 2011.
The Republican governor, who previously voluntarily released his own Flint emails over a two-year period, made the announcement Monday in an interview with The Detroit News editorial board.
Snyder says the email release will come "relatively soon" once lawyers remove documents that would be exempt.
Michigan's Freedom of Information Act does not apply to the governor's office, though some communications to and from his office have been released because state agencies are subject to public-records requests.
